WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?-Among large class of people there seems to be distinction drawn between indigestion and dyspepsia. Another will say, 'I am troubled with indi- .gestion." Another will say, 1T suffered with indigestion a long time, and now believe really have dyspepsia" Another will ask the doctor, very seriously, ssDo you think there is any danger of this indigestion bringing on dyspepsia?' The doctor looks grave, but does not correct the error, only tells tells him that little medicine will bring him all right. How much better the patient would feel to be informed that they were one and the same, he only can tell. Most of the medical fra ternity, however, do this. .9. 5Asss.
 There are four classes of causes for indi- gestion or dyspepsia, viz 1: anotamical changes in the digestive organs changes in digestive secretions; morbid condition of the nerves, and irritations caused by certain drinks or food. The usual method of treating this dis ease is to consult the symptoms and then ad- minister such drugs into the stomach as have the name of correcting these symptoms.
 The most popular and successful method now in use is by inhalation. Judge Flanders, of New York, says 5: "For many years suf- fered from weak digestion and dyspepsia. My health was not at any time vigorous. In 1879I was all run down in strength and spir- it's.

Dr. McGlynn, in his article in the Aug ust number of the North American Review on '"The New Know Nothingism and the Old" avows it to be the settled policy of the German Catholic priests to prevent the immigrants of thatnationality from becom.
 ing assimilated to our institutions. He says ."There is now an avowed determi- nation, as shown in the last council at Bal timore, to establish all over the country a
 great system of parochial schools, and it is made the most urgent duty of priests ev- anywhere, under threats of expulsion, to found such schools. The hope is not con- cealed that when the 'so-called Catholic vote shall become larger the politicians may be induced to appropriate through state legislation or local government all the funds necessary for the support of the schools" .. -

-Storrs Agricultural School, located in Mansfield, in one of the most healthful sections of New England, affords the best facilities for acquiring a strictly agricul- tural education. Young men can here gain a thorough knowledge of both the science and art of farming. The farm comprises 170 acres, and is well adapted to the growth of all crops suited to our cli- mate. The curriculum includes only those studies that relate to the soil and the most intelligent treatment of the farm and its products. No other school offers so much at such small cost. Students must be resi- dents of the state, and at least 15 years of age. Good board is furnished at cost, and all labor performed will be allowed fair compensation, thus reducing the expense of the course. Full particulars of the school appear in our advertising columns.

racing. 1t proposed to have a
quarter mile race, one-eight race, a
slow race and a race without han
dies.
The slow race is really a better
test of a riders proficiency than a
fast one. The riders have to 60 be-
tween two given points, and the
last one to cross the line wins. To
fall debars the rider, or any pro-
gress backwards. The man who
can go slowest and keep on wins.
The will be a meeting of the club

NEGLECTFUL MINERS.
No Ore ON Exhibit at the State
FAIR.

The Reno Gazette thus rebukes
the mining element of this State
and thus most of it is, the rebuke is
well deserved; 1t says:
Nevada is said to be a mining
State. There are more of its res
idents engaged in mining than in
any other occupation. One of the
States chief products, if not the
chief product, is silver, or gold and
silver ore. To-day there have been
in attendance from the leading min
ing camp of the world representa-
tive miners. In vain they look for
what chiefly interests them. There
is not at the Pavilion, at the grounds
anywhere, a piece of ore as big as a
mans hand. We have il. this "Sil-
yer State" silver, gold, copper,
iron, zinc, saltpeter, borax, salt,
lead, and other metals, but none
are exhibited a. the Fair. There
is a State exhibit in the Capitol at
Carson but not here; thousands OF
specimens on the Comstock, at
Aurora, Hawthorne, Eureka, Cher
ry Greek, Hamilton, Austin and
other places but not one specimen
to show Fair visitors here IN attend
ance from this and other States. An
exhibit OF products in mineral Ne
yada without a mineral exhibit is
like the play of Hamlet with Ham
let left out A mineral exhibit
would not detrac:o from the stock,
horticultural or agricultural exhib-
its or the races; it would simply
swell the exhibits and enhance the
general merits of the State Fair.
We refer to this neglect to make a
mineral exhibit at this Fair not to
find fault with TIE management or
anyone in particular, because the
neglect evokes general comment
and occasions general disappoint-
ment; and because a suggestion
made at this time may have some
weight in having at future State
Fairs an evident error remedied.

SENATOR JAMES FAIR.
His Rescue from a Shark by
Two Native Girls.

1t happened upon my last visit to
the Sandwich Islands. am very
expert swimmer, and nothing
pleases me better than to plunge
into the salt water. The tempera-
ture of the island is delightful, and
l could not resist the temptation to
take a swim.
After l had been in the water for
half an hour l pushed out over and
beyond one of the reefs which sur
rended the island. All at once /
realized that something was going
on on the shore. There were quite a
number of natives there, and they
appeared to be greatly excited.
Suddenly two native girls swan out
behind me with two long knives be-
tween their teeth. l looked be-
hind, and to my horror saw shark
making for me with terrific speed.
An instant later the girls had dived,
and the shark had nearly stopped.
The girls came to the surface again,
and again they dived, and plunged
their long knives into the monster
At last he lay still on the top of the
water, quite dead. The natives
dragged him ashore and found that
he was one of the largest of his
specie. But for the wonderful
bravery of these girls | should not
be here tonight to tell you this
story.-San Francisco Call.

A Family Reunion.

The Reno Gazette of Thursday
has the following:
The appearance of Senator Stan
ford's herd OF 81 Holsteins at the
State Fair has made quite a boom
in Hofstein stock. /. Gulling, Sam
Davis and A. G. Cleveland, the
three solitary Holstein breeders in
Nevada, are in high feather over
the display, as they consider it will
give an impetus to Holstein breed
ing in Nevada.
The manager of Stanford's cattle
was very much pleased with both
Cuttings and DAVIS thoroughbreds,
| and mentioned the fact to a Ga
zette reporter that the hea West
mixers in Stanford's herd, and the
highest priced, were half sisters of
Davis bull Saratoga" Both par
ties purchased their stock of Smiths,
Powell & Lamb, New York, and
the meeting of the animals was
a sort of family reunion. He also
| stated that he did not consider that
Stanford's herd contained any finer
two-year-old than "Nevada Queen"
of Carson.
Two of the bulls had been fat
tened to show what they could do
in the beef line, and the heaviest
turns the scales at 2400 pounds.
Certainly this is beef enough for
anybody, considering that the bull
was only three years old. Holstein
breeders as rule, however, do not
fatten their bulls, as with too much
flesh they deteriorate as breeders.
Stanford's herd will be exhibited
ut Carson.
